Theodore "Ted" Tschopp

I am the Mobility Domain Architect for Southern California Edison(SCE), one of the United States largest investor-owned utilities with a service territory of over 50,000 square miles consisting of 430 cities, who are home to nearly 14 million people. In this role am responsible for providing major stake holders, executives, and senior management with strategic and actionable guidance focusing on the maturity and technical issues and risks associated with mobile ecosystems. Recently we have moved off the Blackberry platform over to Citrix XenMobile and Apple iOS phones as well as implementing a very successful BYOD program. I have been at SCE for over a decade and have focused on my career on Mobile, Web, Portal, Search, and Enterprise 2.0 technologies.

Before working at Edison, I owned my own business which was featured in Wired Magazine. I founded the largest community website focused on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Prior to this I worked in for a market research company focusing on the automotive industry.

I love working in technology as it provides me with the opportunity to watch the future unfold. Some of the things I have worked on were considered science-fiction when I was in school. This means I get to work on hard problems with brilliant people using complex and cool tools.

I’m always interested in hearing from former colleagues, managers, or just interesting people, so feel free to contact me if you’d like to connect.
